Daniel Malabud is a Staff Engineer based in Berlin with 11 years of experience building and operating cloud-native platforms, specializing in Kubernetes, Terraform/OpenTofu, and AWS. He has advanced from C#/.NET and Java application development to leading platform and DevOps initiatives that standardized company-wide infrastructure, reduced downtime to near-zero, and sped developer onboarding through SOPs and pair programming. At companies like SumUp and lemon.markets he owned terraform-driven Kubernetes fleets, observability stacks and a Redshift data warehouse, and at XAIN rebuilt CI/CD, Terraform modules and EKS from the ground up. He combines pragmatic delivery—balancing elegant designs with fast turnarounds—with hands-on technical mentorship and resilience testing under tight deadlines. A lifelong tinkerer who started with 486s and DOS, he still explores new languages (currently Rust and Go) and enjoys reworking legacy systems into reproducible, well-documented platforms.
